Karaoke Contest!!!

KARAOKE – A form of entertainment, offered typically by bars and clubs, in which people take turn singing popular songs into a microphone over prerecorded backing tracks.

ORIGIN 1970’s: from Japanese, literally ’empty orchestra.’

So for this music monday I would like you to come up with a song that you would sing in a Karaoke contest. I know, some of you would only sing if held at gun point or if offered a million dollars. But since we’re doing this in cyber space no one will hear you and I think we’ll all sound pretty good.

Obviously you’ll choose a song that you know well and that will compliment your vocals. Hopefully it’s a song you enjoy singing! (Even if only in the shower.)

So without further ado let’s have a round of applause for __________________!!

I’d like to get this party started by singing a few of my favorites… yup, I get to sing more than one since it’s my party.

Ooooh Good post! I think I would do “Part of Your World” from the little mermaid, and I too, would do a Fleetwood Mac song –Never Going Back Again, but an octave higher and then matching lindsay’s voice in the chorus. Lol clearly I’ve thought about this. OR possibly Don’t Stop Believin’ because that’s a Karaoke classic!

Nope, you haven’t thought about it. Lol! I think the little mermaid is great and very original, in that it’s probably never been sung in a bar before. Ha! Hard to resist a little Stevie Nicks– always a good choice.

I’ll have to go with La Bamba. Because I vaguely remember doing it at Karaoke. About 20 – 24 years ago.
In Spanish.
With 4 Spanish fellows. Who joined me after I started.
After 20 some odd jello shots.

OMG! I can totally picture this! La Bamba is the perfect song for you… Do you speak Spanish now? No matter, we’ll just make sure you have plenty of Jello shots again. And I assume you’ll be wearing one of your Hawaiian shirts?

Hi,
How about “I love Rock’n’Roll” by Joan Jett and The Blackhearts, I have seen this done on Karaoke nights, actually a couple of friends got up and done this one, and the crowd just starting clapping to the song, just like the original, it was a great night. 😀

@ El Guapo, I bet you would. 😆
It was a fantastic night, if there had of been a video made, you would of seen me up on my feet (others followed) and I must say we started the perfect clap exactly when the drums hit in the song, and then everyone started. 😆
A reminder of the song in case you don’t remember it.I Love Rock’n’Roll

It’s actually very dramatic, isn’t it? Yes, I can picture the white trash mom singing this, wiping away the tears, a love gone bad… Somewhere out there this song was sung just like that. Thank you Marya, thank you.

Oh boy, thank goodness this is a Cyber-Karaoke Bar.. I truly have one of the worst singing voices on the planet (I can dance so it sorta balances out).
Hmm, if I were held at gunpoint I would probably sing:

I thought of Daydream Believer, too! That’s a good one, especially for the slightly older set who remember watching the Monkees. Yeah, my voice is not great either but that doesn’t stop me from inflicting it on others!
If you did Billie Jean maybe you could do some moon walking with it? Ha!

The Lovecats by The Cure perhaps?
We should have each other to tea, huh?
We should have each other wiht cream
Then curl up by the fire and sleep for a while
It’s the grooviest thing, it’s the perfect dream…

YES!! Hopefully you would wear that same outfit? I don’t know about you but I always wanted that hat with the big black bow on the front. So cute… actually wasn’t she vandalizing things with a spray can? haha!

I love this song for you. You’ve got the crowd eating out of your hand. They’re screaming for more!

Great question and one I have never had an occassion to ponder. I don’t know why but for some reason In the Jungle the Might Jungle comes to mind. I think I could really rock the eeeeeeeeeeaaaaahhhhwweeeumbaheha part!

Now I will never hear that song again without thinking of you, in the jungle, with a sleeping lion. haha!
I think the crowd will enjoy it so much that they’ll join in the chorus with you, at which point you fall into the audience and they carry you out over their heads… It’s truly a magical night for you, Linda.

I can picture this… dim the lights, close up on your face and a single tear slowly falling, falling, falling….

I think I wore a hole in this cassette when this song came out. Now looking back, that mtv video was nothing but cornball. Still, you have to admit, it did have a great hook. I like that you’ll leave the crowd wanting more. So perfect.

It’ll be difficult to choose a winner from this bunch, everyone is so talented, with such beautiful voices and each has chosen such an inspirational song.
